There's no new news in the Mail article. It consists mostly of
pictures of Allen, who is described as "the latest in a string of
beautiful and successful women with whom Arrington has been
romantically linked."

What's notable about the article is that the Mail is a mainstream
publication. So this will likely raise awareness of the claim
against Arrington, further damaging his reputation. It will also
likely increase the pressure on Allen to either elaborate on what
happened or withdraw her claims.

A couple of years ago, there was a story going around
that Arrington threw a friend named Megan Asha against a
wall. Importantly, Asha has
since denied this story and said that she and Arrington
remain friends.

In other words, with the exception of Jenn Allen's late-night
Facebook post and follow-up blog post--both of which allege that
Arrington committed felony assault--there have yet to be any
other instances revealed in which Arrington is alleged to have
physically abused anyone.

Allen has gone silent since making the claims. Arrington,
meanwhile, has yet to comment publicly.

Now that this story has hit the mainstream media, it is unlikely
to just go away. So it's time to get to the truth (or at least
more details).

Jenn Allen has accused Mike Arrington of two serious crimes, both
of which are damaging to his reputation. If Arrington did what
Allen says he did, he should be held accountable. If he didn't,
meanwhile, he should be exonerated (not just legally, but
publicly).
